What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
The relevance of nutrition during pregnancy and early infancy in defining short-term health and survival has been well established. However, the Developmental Origins of Health and Disease (DOHaD) paradigm provides a framework to assess the effect of early nutrition and growth on long-term health. This body of literature shows that early nutrition has significant consequences on later health and well-being. In this article, we briefly present the main consequences of malnutrition that affect human growth and development and consider how the DOHaD paradigm, with its evolutionary implications, might contribute to better addressing the challenge of improving nutrition. We examine how this paradigm is particularly appropriate in understanding the health and nutrition transition in countries that face the double burden of nutrition-related diseases (acute malnutrition coexisting with obesity and other chronic diseases). We focus on stunting (low height-for-age) to examine the short- as well as long-term consequences of early malnutrition with a life-course, transgenerational, and multidisciplinary perspective. We present current global and regional prevalence of stunting and discuss the need to reposition maternal and infant nutrition not only in health and nutrition intervention programs but also in consideration of the emerging research questions that should be resolved to better orient program and policy decisions.
